[This is an excerpt from a sports column. I know some people at FM shows still smoke marijuana, but it's not like the smoke would permeate the stadium. I think FM fans are a little old or emotionally mature for that]
http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/...28_glitch.html A four-game winning streak and five-game points streak evaporated quicker than the thick haze in the mezzanine at Saturday's Fleetwood Mac show. The 4-1 loss killed any momentum the Flyers had gathered over their near-miraculous march through the schedule with a roster full of names we barely recognize.

By Sarah Murphy THE BULLETIN Posted Apr 24, 2013 (Falmouth)
http://www.wickedlocal.com/falmouth/...#axzz2RQjkMTH2 Falmouth reporter's Notebook: Thinking about tomorrow The concert was meant to be a diversion. When I ordered Fleetwood Mac tickets last December, I never could have imagined the climate in Boston during the third week of April. The city was attempting to return to normality on Thursday the 18th, three days after the Marathon bombings, so I left my safe haven of Cape Cod, tentatively crossing the Bourne Bridge. Outside the TD Garden, SWAT team officers were positioned along the streets, and I got a tiny glimpse into wartime life in Belfast or Baghdad. “We know how strong you are,” Stevie Nicks told the audience. “You are Boston Strong and you will make it.” After the show, my sister, Courtney and my friend, Mary and I decided to take a cab back to my family’s house in West Newton and as we climbed in, a line of police cars sped by. At the house, I learned of the shooting at MIT and wondered if they had been en route. I went to bed thinking about officer Sean Collier and woke up early the next morning to the sound of sirens. I was baffled by the text from my husband. “Lock the doors. You can’t leave the house. One suspect dead, the other on the run. Could be in your area.” Unable to head back to the Cape, I spent Friday watching coverage with Courtney, my brother, Seton, and his girlfriend, Megan, as fire trucks and ambulances whizzed down Auburndale Avenue and Blackhawk helicopters circled above. Later, when the shelter in place order was lifted, the reporter in me wanted to write a story, thinking maybe that was the reason I got stuck there, so we headed over to Watertown. On Arsenal Street, people were seeking respite from the lockdown, grabbing pizza at Domino’s, walking their dogs, and chatting with strangers, as familiar faces from television news paced around with cameramen in tow. Heads were bent over cell phones, fingers scrolling for the latest updates. The police officer directing traffic was controlled but polite to the confused drivers attempting to continue down the road. “I’m sad and angry and I just want to know why,” said Jenilee Haber of Watertown. Darkness fell and an MBTA bus sped down the road beyond the barricade with what appeared to be passengers but was packed with police. Soon after, we heard the crackle of gunshots coming from the standoff about a mile away and later, a second round. For some reason, I was more frightened by the barking of police dogs breaking the ensuing silence as a cruiser transported them to the scene. Finally, a ripple of applause slowly floated down the road with building intensity as the news broke and the crowd began to cheer. The next morning, I headed into the city and the T was packed with families in Red Sox gear on their way to a Saturday afternoon game. A man got on at Lechmere carrying his dog, Ava, a whippet/Chihuahua cross, who was wagging her tail excitedly, and I swarmed in asking to pet her. “She loves riding the T,” he said and passengers nearby laughed. On the Boston Common, people were enjoying a typical day, eating pretzels on park benches, watching the swan boats glide by. Dogwoods were in bloom under a brilliant blue sky. “I can feel the collective relief of the whole city today,” said Kimberly Thorpe of Dorchester. At the Public Garden, tiny signs were placed in the grass and the most prominent read, “We are all affected by violence, no matter who we are or where we are from, we stand together for PEACE.” It was then that I finally broke down. A few blocks over at the corner of Boylston and Berkeley, the city sounds ceased as a crowd gathered in front of the memorial, leaving flowers and notes, running shoes and candles, sports memorabilia and stuffed animals. The brightly colored display was contrasted by the vast gray expanse of a deserted Boylston beyond the police barrier. There were audible sobs and parents attempting to offer explanation. “The little boy who was at the Marathon loved the Bruins, so that’s why someone left that shirt for him,” a father said delicately to his inquisitive son. Therapy dogs and their handlers were out in numbers, as people of all ages bent to greet them. Helen and Tom Davis of Therapy Dogs International had arrived earlier that morning with their two Golden Retrievers, Liberty and Independence. “Our job is to hold a leash. They provide the relief,” Tom Davis said. “With a dog, there is no judgment. They just offer unconditional love. They don’t care about race or religion, whether you’re rich or poor,” Helen Davis said. “Right now, the adults need the comfort just as much as children do.” Bailey Marcus, a senior at Northeastern University from Newark, N.J., was still feeling the effects of the chaos on campus during the lockdown. “No other city could have come together like that,” she said. “It was eerie but amazing.” I approached three police officers, not authorized to comment, so instead I simply offered my gratitude and inquired about their well-being. “We’re changing shifts soon so we’ll be able to get some sleep,” one officer said and smiled warmly. I smiled back through tears. On the way to pick up my car at the Woodland T station, the train was now filled with slightly dejected Bruins fans but the characteristically uncommunicative passengers were still friendly and engaged. “How did they do today?” someone yelled from one end. “Terrible,” the man next to me responded in that lovably inimitable accent. “A lotta penalty minutes.” I have relied on rays of light in this time of darkness –stories of selflessness and bravery, such as that of Falmouth’s own Andrew Daley, who along with his friend, used a belt and quick thinking to save a woman’s arm. I was buoyed by the news that officer Richard Donohue, seriously injured in the Watertown shooting, is expected to make a full recovery. I am in awe of our hospitals, first responders and law enforcement. And along with the rest of Boston, I was touched by the public outpouring of support from our various sports rivals. I mourn for Martin Richard, Lu Lingzi, Krystle Campbell and Sean Collier, who lost their lives. I mourn for those who lost their limbs, their innocence and their sense of safety. In the days ahead, I will continue to take comfort in Mick Fleetwood’s reminder to the crowd in Boston. “Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow.” Read more: Falmouth reporter's Notebook: Thinking about tomorrow - - Falmouth Bulletin http://www.wickedlocal.com/falmouth/...#ixzz2RQkqOYIQ Under Creative Commons License: Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike Follow us: @WickedLocal on Twitter | 119311408344 on Facebook

From an Evil Alien interview:
Counteract Magazine http://counteract-magazine.com/2013/...ew-evil-alien/ With plans for a debut album set for later this year, their first EP set for June 10, and a free show at The Yardbird late next week, Evil Alien are certainly a band that have been keeping themselves busy. And it’s not just their music that’s occupying their time. “I’ve said it a few times; we’re a bit like Fleetwood Mac with all of the line up changes – but without the love interest, or hair do’s!”

[article about Baby Boomers clinging to their old music, references FM]
April 29, 2013 in Features Boomers haven’t strayed from music that helped define generation Rick BoninoThe Spokesman-Review http://www.spokesman.com/stories/201...liar-refrains/ Almost 40 years ago, in one of its biggest hits, Fleetwood Mac sang: “Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow. … Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone.” Today, fans of the band – which hasn’t released any new music in the past decade – are still happily looking backward. Tickets for the June 29 show at the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena are selling much faster than when the ’70s supergroup last came to town in 2004, said Matt Gibson, the arena’s general manager. “It’s going to be sold out,” Gibson said. “Part of it is, you don’t know if this band is going to be back, ever.” While its creators creep past retirement age, the music the baby boom generation grew up with keeps on trucking. Northern Quest Casino is scheduled to announce its outdoor summer concert lineup this week, and it’s likely to be loaded with boomer favorites. Last year, the majority of the casino’s shows featured boomer acts, including Ringo Starr, Earth Wind & Fire and John Fogerty. “I worked with guys who listened to Boston every day on their boombox,” said KPBX-FM radio host John Johnson. “This was 2005, and they were still listening to the first Boston album (from 1976) every day.” Don Adair, program director for KREM-FM in the 1970s, and a former Spokesman-Review music writer, said: “The refrain I hear is, ‘They don’t make music like they used to.’ Maybe they don’t, but that doesn’t mean it’s not just as good.” Having a special attachment to the music of one’s youth is nothing new, said Johnson, whose “Johnson’s Improbable History of Pop” is in its 19th year. “My parents were like that with their Sinatra, their big band music, stuff that I thought was pretty square at the time,” said Johnson, 61. When you’re young, he said, “A lot of important things happen. You might get your first girlfriend, take your first sip or two. “It might be the music you listened to at your prom. It might be what you went out and listened to with your buddies who didn’t go to the prom.” But as people get older and become busy with careers and families, “they may only be listening to music in their car on their way to and from work. They don’t have friends over to listen to music and hang out.” The events of the boomers’ formative years were particularly intense, said Adair, 66. Those years included the assassinations of the Kennedys and Martin Luther King Jr., the war in Vietnam, the free speech movement. “There was a lot for this generation to rally around,” he said. “We took ourselves pretty seriously from a pretty early age.” The arena’s Gibson, 41, said: “Music means something to every age group. But with the baby boomers, it really seems like it was a soundtrack to that generation, not just entertainment.” And there’s certainly something to be said for the quality of the music that came out of that time, said Bob Gallagher, owner of Spokane’s 4000 Holes record store. “You can be snobbish about the ’60s,” said Gallagher, 61. “The music got so much more sophisticated, so much more serious.” Young people today continue to pick up on older sounds, he said: “To see a 17-year-old buying an Aerosmith album isn’t that unusual.” But you’re less likely to see the reverse when it comes to boomers and more recent artists. “Some of my friends got into Talking Heads and Elvis Costello,” said Adair. “Some of them were into The Clash. But it was really hard to get anyone my age to listen to Nirvana.” The rise of hip-hop was “a real dividing line,” said Johnson. “That was as different as hearing electric guitars must have been to my parents.” And it can be hard for older listeners to relate to younger musicians’ messages, he said. “You’re not so much rebelling against society when you’re trying to decide whether to take your early Social Security.” Hearing aids Theoretically, the Internet should make it easier for baby boomers to find new music if they’re so inclined. “It’s a big listening station out there,” said Gallagher. He used to be the one to tell his customers about up-and-coming artists. These days, it’s the other way around. And with downloads, he said, “People are listening to music who never would have in the past. If you have to get up and go to the store to buy it, some people just don’t do that.” But with the vast sea of information to navigate online, it helps to have some idea what you’re looking for – particularly for a generation more attuned to radio, where the demise of progressive, album-oriented stations like the old KREM-FM has made it more difficult to find anything beyond the hits. “It’s kind of hard to know where to hear new music these days,” said Johnson. “Young people have all these mixes of different styles on their iPods, and that’s great. I wish I could hear their music as well as they can hear mine, but it takes me more work.” Some websites have stepped forward to fill the gap. At Valslist.com, founder Val Haller provides picks and playlists that promise to “introduce you to music that is a new twist on your old classics.” In 2011, AARP Internet Radio ( www.aarp.org/music) launched with the tagline, “If you have a hard time finding music you love, or you miss the days when radio turned you on to great new sounds — we’ve got a radio player for you.” Two original channels that focused on contemporary tunes – Fresh Sounds and Modern Hits – have since been discontinued, though newer music continues to be mixed into the Modern Rock and Coffeehouse selections. Even boomers who bring themselves to listen to current artists aren’t necessarily comfortable going to see them perform live. “People my age say, ‘I don’t want to be the only old person there,’ ” said Adair, who still goes to concerts by younger bands. “Why not? It’s about the music, it’s not about age or fashion.” While he was once told to “get out of the way, Grandpa,” for the most part, he said, “Kids have been unfailingly polite.” Diana “Dyno” Wahl, executive director of the Festival at Sandpoint, is among the youngest boomers at age 50. Intrigued by the acts at the annual Sasquatch Festival at The Gorge Amphitheatre, she asked her 19-year-old son whether she would like it. “He said, ‘Oh, Mom, I don’t think that’s for you.’ ” One of the reasons? “You’re camping out for five days and you maybe get a shower,” Wahl said. The Sandpoint festival will announce its lineup May 16 for the Aug. 1-11 concerts. It books a mixture of boomer-era acts, like last year’s Kenny Loggins (“I saw people everywhere from five years younger than me to 10 years older who were singing every word,” Wahl said), and current artists that lean to the more approachable. “If we are going to do something younger, we want it to be something that won’t chase our older patrons away,” Wahl said. She cites Michael Franti, who blends hip-hop with genres ranging from funk to folk, as a “perfect example” – a hit not only with her son but with her 81-year-old mother, who proclaimed, “What an entertainer!” It doesn’t hurt that typically eclectic Sandpoint supports a progressive, independent station, KPND-FM. Wahl remembers talking to her booking committee about bringing in a newer artist whose name they didn’t recognize: “I started humming a few bars, and they said, ‘Oh, I’ve heard that on the radio.’ ” Changing tunes Back at the Spokane Arena, Gibson, whose job involves constantly thinking about tomorrow, doesn’t see too many Fleetwood Macs in his future. The trend is more toward multiple-act shows, and smaller venues, like the arena’s self-contained Star Theatre. With so much music to choose from, audiences are more fragmented these days, Gibson said. The availability of live performances on YouTube and television has stripped some of the mystique from the concert experience. And in the download age, it’s more about individual songs than albums. “There are a lot of one-hit wonders out there, but not a lot of artists who have collections of music that people want to hear,” he said. Boomers, Gibson said, “felt something very real about their music. It wasn’t quite so packaged as it is today. For that to go away, it’s kind of a sad thing.”

The Americans, Season 1
[Excerpt from Slate] http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/t...pisode_13.html Why “Games Without Frontiers” was the perfect theme for the finale. By June Thomas|Posted Wednesday, May 1, 2013, at 11:00 PM One season in, The Americans’ visual signature is the crosscut montage set to a classic '80s soundtrack. In the pilot, an epic chase scene was propelled by Fleetwood Mac’s “Tusk”; Episode 10 had the beautifully choreographed “To Love Somebody” shootout; and we head into the hiatus breathless from “Games Without Frontiers.”

[Excerpt mentions seeing Stevie and Mick]
Under the Radar Magazine http://www.undertheradarmag.com/news...the_messenger/ Johnny Marr Discusses his New Album, The Messenger Home Is Where You Plug In May 06, 2013 I hear you ran into Stevie Nicks and Mick Fleetwood while trying to get into a Fleetwood Mac show without paying when you were about 15. Is that true? [Laughs] That's true. A mutual friend from northern England suggested that I throw that question out to you, by the way. I never would have thought I'd be asked that question. Well, there's very many cool things about that situation. First off, me and my friends used to go to every concert in town. I don't think there was ever one that we didn't actually get into, even if it took us three or four attempts, because I don't remember ever being unsuccessful in getting in. Sometimes, having seen a band and their first few numbers, I realized I probably shouldn't have busted in so much. I'm thinking of when me and my friends got to see Uriah Heep; I had no [idea] that was a band. What was interesting about that for me was that we used to hang out in a youth club and it had a really cool jukebox. There was a couple of Fleetwood Mac records on there, "Green Manalishi" and "Albatross" or something. When I heard that this band Fleetwood Mac were coming to town I assumed that it was a bunch of very old guys with long hair and beards. So when we were hanging around the stage door, ready to sneak through, this big old Bentley pulls up and out gets these two utterly beautiful, blonde '70s rock girls on either side of Mick Fleetwood. Yeah, I was 15 and I was three feet away from Stevie Nicks in 1977 or whenever it was, so that worked for me on a lot of levels. But Mick Fleetwood recognized me from having walked by. He gave me a nod and a smile, as if to say, "Yeah. This is as cool as you think it is, son." I already was pretty committed to the life of a musician but that definitely helped to swing things, I can tell you. I remember thinking, "That looks like a good job, John boy." And I bumped into Mick Fleetwood in 2005 and I told him this story, and he was kind of knocked out by it. I didn't hold it against him that he didn't remember me. I let that one go, but hey, what can I say? It was a great concert. I saw them on the Rumours tour, and that was amazing that I got in there before the show started because usually I had to wait for the band to come on. I saw the band's opening song and off they went. It was quite evident that it wasn't a bunch of fat old guys with beards. It was an amazing, exotic California band playing these really great tunes, so that was a really good night. And it's nice to remember that. It's funny. And if you happen to be ready to walk onstage and notice a really tall, older fellow lingering around backstage at your show, maybe you can have a similar moment. I should be so lucky. Hey, hope springs eternal, man!

Rolling Stones face pay cut as poor sales force them to slash US ticket prices
The rock giants are taking desperate measures to ensure full houses for their anniversary US gigs Edward Helmore in New York The Observer, Saturday 4 May 2013 08.46 EDT http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2013...=ILCNETTXT3487 The Stones playing a surprise gig in Los Angeles last month: they had been demanding $20m for five shows on tour in America. Photograph: Luis Soto/AP Could it be the tour too far for the Rolling Stones? Insiders are even speculating that the band will have to renegotiate the huge guaranteed fees for their American tour, which opened on Friday, as ticket prices are radically reduced in light of poor sales. A perfect storm of management hubris, fan indifference and technology change is threatening to turn the tour into a disaster. Last week the band said it was dropping the price of thousands of premium seats – "flexing" in industry parlance – rather than play to half-empty arenas. The situation was so dire, one insider revealed, that the band's own allotment of tickets was released because of a lack of requests. "Total disaster. Too expensive and no vibe on the shows … it's a terrible way to go out," a source said. He added that the band could hardly refuse if their reputed $20m fees for the tour were revised. "What's the band gonna do? Say we're not going to play if you touch our gross?" In the UK, by contrast, tickets for the groups's two Hyde Park shows, priced from £95-£300, quickly sold out, although £750-plus hotel package tickets remain. The , and they are also headlining the Glastonbury festival. Although there was widespread grumbling about ticket prices after the Stones played in London and New York last year, it is since this tour reached the US west coast and heartlands such as Chicago that outright hostility has emerged towards the band and its promoter, the giant AEG Entertainment. "I have to give them respect for what they have done, but now they seem like an embarrassment," fan Cameron Bowman told the San Francisco Chronicle recently. "Seriously, how much more money do they need? I feel like they are in Donald Trump or Gordon Gekko territory – just money for money's sake." By setting prices at $170 (£110) for a cheap seat, $635 for a top seat or up to $2,000 for a VIP ticket, the band alienated blue-collar fans who have kept their tours profitable through the decades. Their 2005 tour grossed £350m. This year is a different story. The Stones are playing in arenas holding from 10,000 to 15,000 people, not stadiums. In theory that should be more profitable – if fans will pay more for a closer view. But the plan has backfired. The band has no new material to tour behind and its new management has allowed ticket prices, not the show, to become the story. By contrast, bands such as Fleetwood Mac and Tom Petty are selling out, but their tickets are a fraction of the price. Playing in only a few cities – Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Toronto, Boston and Philadelphia – means it is less expensive to tour. But that plan relies on hardcore fans willing to travel – and they may not want to sit in an upper tier that's within their budget but is farther from the stage. So they are sitting out the tour. "They did everything backwards," said one tour veteran. "It was a last-minute decision to celebrate their 50th anniversary. A bit more thought should have gone into it because now they are up against all this summer competition." The Stones have a history of pushing the boundaries of ticket prices; they were one of the first bands to adopt multi-tiered pricing. But now legitimate secondary ticket sellers such as StubHub.com allow artists to see exactly what people are willing to pay to see their show. The escalation in prices is partly testing the top of the market and partly an effort to squeeze touts out of the business. But touts may be a necessary evil. They took the risk in buying tickets for resale and priced that into their business. Now the Stones are taking on that risk, they also take the chance of getting burned. "Price does matter," said Gary Bongiovanni, editor of the concert industry publication Pollstar. "The market is speaking."

Huffington Post, May 8, 2013 by Paul Steven Stone
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-s...b_3240629.html Tell Me Lies: A Republican Songbook Tell me lies, Tell me sweet little lies ...goes the refrain from Fleetwood Mac's elegiac love anthem, "Little Lies," never envisioning it would someday become the default anthem for the Republican Party. The verse, innocent as it seemed at the time, goes on to threaten eventual public exposure... Oh, no, no you can't disguise (You can't disguise, no you can't disguise) Well, the Republicans, bless their little hearts, have resolutely ignored the import of the second two lines of the refrain, as they continue to cling to the first two lines as a strategic response to whatever they find unlikable in our shifting political landscape. In fact, they've been so successful in elevating lies to a status where they've become worthy of discussion, we are often placed in the unenviable position of defending reality or a political position against the onslaught of either (choose one) gross stupidity, willful misrepresentation, or extremist religious ideology. (If you chose " All of the Above" consider yourself smarter than most people who vote for Republican candidates.) What songs must echo through your mind when you vote for the party that angrily shouts "Death Panels!" in response to a proposal that seeks to help the elderly prepare for their end of days. Tell me lies, Tell me sweet little lies... And what refrain do you sing to yourself when you deny global warming and minimize it as a liberal conspiracy to hobble industry and waste taxpayer dollars? Even as you're forced to shout, rather than sing, to be heard above the 100-year storms, once-in-a-lifetime floods, and record-breaking droughts and wildfires that are suddenly multiplying on the planet like Pharaoh's plagues? Tell me, do they really believe God made Adam from dust, and Eve from Adam's rib bone? Or that Darwinism is heresy, evolution an atheist's revenge? Could anyone with higher than a fifth-grade education truly believe that? Tell me lies, Tell me sweet little lies... But the biggest, balls-of-brass lies are the ones they sing about George W. Bush and Barack Hussein Obama (yes, the "Hussein" must be kept silent because lying Republican extremists regard the name as proof positive that Barack Obama is not only a Muslim but an Islamic terrorist out to destroy the American way of life). And, of course, it's also final proof -- if any is needed -- that our president wasn't even born on American soil! Oh, no, no you can't disguise (You can't disguise, no you can't disguise) Then there's the question of their wholesale ransacking of government programs. Programs critical to the upward mobility of the middle class, programs crucial to the very survival of the social safety net. The Republicans blame it all on Barack Hussein Obama and his policies, as if he were responsible for the size of the national debt, as if he chose to conduct two wars at once, as if the country's financial sector collapsed on his watch instead of his predecessor's, as if his policies somehow led to the recession he inherited! As Bill Clinton said about the Republicans at the Democratic convention, "They made the mess, then blame him cause he hasn't cleaned it up fast enough." So, why suddenly do we need to throw out the character and conscience of America, as illustrated in the warp and woof of 80-plus years of humane, socially progressive legislation? Why should financial scarcity brought on by the excesses of a Republican administration -- an administration so unconcerned about the public treasury its prescription drug bill prohibited the U.S. government from bargaining for better prices? Why should Bush's many over-indulgences, managerial incompetencies and financial missteps be allowed to kill off programs that were the work of many administrations and the combined will of the American people in the modern era? There was no need to defenestrate government programs, no need to tinker with Medicare benefits, no push to reduce the Social Cecurity cost-of-living adjustments before George W. Bush embroiled us in two unwinnable wars and looted the treasury with two rounds of tax cuts. As was often remarked, no previous president had ever called for tax cuts in the midst of a war -- let alone two wars! That was only one of George W. Bush's many firsts. Like being the first president to initiate a preemptive war, the first to make torture an acceptable means of interrogation, the first to attack a foreign country on trumped-up evidence, the first to cripple his own war effort by starting a second war before finishing the first, and the first ex-president who can't travel to foreign countries for fear of being arrested and tried as a war criminal. Oh, no, no you can't disguise (You can't disguise, no you can't disguise) By the time the Republicans -- following the dictates of their millionaire and billionaire masters -- finish dismantling assistance programs for the poor, eliminating food stamps and Pell grants, crippling Social Security and Medicare, killing off public sector jobs, there won't be an America left to celebrate as the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. We'll think of it instead as the Land of the Rich and the Home of the Poor. And that's no lie.

[Learning she was in love triangle with Mick's daughter drove Emily Lloyd to suicide attempt]
Daily Mail, April 27, 2013 (excerpted) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/even...sucked-in.html The last thing I expected after my breakdown on Chicago Joe And The Showgirl was to fall in love. One night my friend Sacha Puttnam, the son of film producer David, arrived to take me out. He brought a musician friend of his called Gavin Rossdale. With Gavin and I there seemed an instant connection. Around this time I became friends with Amy Fleetwood, the daughter of Mick, the founder of Fleetwood Mac. Gavin and I grew closer. This was in the days before he formed his band Bush. We were in a nightclub and he hinted he had feelings for me. We had our first kiss and I could sense the fairytale beginning. A few days later I was out with Amy and I told her I had met someone I liked. We got chatting and Amy then told me about a man she was keen on. Suddenly it occurred to me that it was the same guy. It was Gavin. Gavin admitted that, yes, he was involved with Amy but that the relationship was new and that he had developed strong feelings for me and didn’t know what to do. Neither did I. The inevitable happened. It was the first time for me, but Gavin made it clear he wasn’t going to give Amy up. One evening while I was waiting for Gavin at his flat a desperate state of despair overwhelmed me. I searched the bathroom cabinet and found razor blades and aspirin. After taking the tablets I slashed my wrists and arms. It was Gavin’s friend who found me. The Charter Nightingale Hospital in London was my home for the next six weeks.
